Jen is our personal trainer and overnight supervisor.

She doesn’t bring her own lived experience in the mahi but something just as powerful - that is supporting whānau in addiction.

Jen has an abundance of knowledge in health, fitness and training programmes and her capacity for empathy is inspiring.

What makes you continue doing the work in the drug and alcohol field?

I continue to do the work that I do at Red Door Recovery for all the amazing, strong and resilient people that I have connected with over the years. Being a part of someones recovery journey is rewarding, challenging and at times sad, but it is so worth it and I continue to learn new things about myself & the human spirit every day. I feel blessed to walk alongside our tangata whaiora & my colleagues to change people s lives one day at a time.

Belief & hope are powerful and something that everyone deserves.
